Look for Gold

The renewed discoveries of gold In
Hawthorne district In the section of
the district in which lead silver ore
abounds is not only encouraging 70
the miners OF that place, but should be
an inducement to the miners of Gar.
field district TO search for deposits of
the precious metal. For long time
1t was supposed that there was no gold
IN Garfield. Recently, however, rs.
says have been showing appreciahle
gold values and but short time since
Superintendent Hooper found piece
of rock in one of the Garfield com.
pany's mines in which the gold was
visible. Gold is not TO be hunted by
rule; 1t is beyond the beaten scientific
path Of the metals of lower grade.
Despising all forms and theories ii
makes its home wherever it pleases
and is as the miners say where 1t Is
found, Garfield is high grade silver
district but there is some gold there
and may il not be that an inspection
Of the dull.colored unattractive rocks
may disclose the hiding Place Of a
treasure. silver Is on excellent article
to haye around hut gold is better, at
present, and If the search were made It
is probable that the result would be
that Garfield gold mines would make
sensation in the mining world.
They would II any gold bearing lodges

lion works, and the discovery of large
quantities of lead ore of sufficient per.
oentage will almost Immediately be
followed by the erection OF such works
as would treat every kind OF ore that
could be brought in. Even now, at
Reno, there is demand for lead ore
that is not readily supplied aud our
lead districts should be thoroughly ex.
ahmed. A great many of our good
claims which even now are profitable
properties would be rendered much
more valuable could the ore be smelt
ed with heavy lead ore. Experienced
metalnrgists are positive in their de.
clarations relative to quite a large
number of our gold bearing lodges,
that In consequence of the base NETS
being so intimately mixed with the
gold, the proper and economical
method CT reduction is smeltlng in
company with fat lead ore. There are
in all the surrounding districts, or
nearly all, sections in which
are mines of lead that would we'll
repay the work of extraction if
the distance OF transportation were no
greater than to Hawthorne, and the
ability to show a number of these
mines in d satisfactory state of devel.
opment would insure the works which
we so greatly need. The Mexlcans
have saying; AMIDST proverb, to the
effect that it tases gold mine to work
a silver mine. We have most of our
gold in such d state of intermix,ure
with other metals that we need some
lead mlnes to Work our gold mines.

There are, all told, at least one hun.

obliged to get their mail twice week
from Hawthorne. A daily mail

There are number Of decaying

a trl-weekly mail and producing

friends under his charge would like to
see some further light thrown on the
question. The report of the com.

is the matter dropped so suddenly. 1t
looks to outsiders as though the

that Or. Dawson will begin suit

violent that it convinces nobody.
Doubtless had the hnfortunates been

Sam Davis raises hens and Holstein
cattle on his ranch near Carson.
Speaking of queer freak of one of
the editors hens the Appeal says:
"t'or some time she cackled without
returns. Her cackling ras fitful.
Something seemed to occupy her
mind to the detriment OF her voice.
In theintervals between her cackling
spells she appeared to thinking deeply
her pulse ran down and she was evi.
IDENTIFY very uneasy. 1t became appar.
ent that the hen was ailing both in
mind and body and the patient was
put in a coop by herself until the
writer could learn how to apply an
electric battery to cheer her up. The
second day after being placed Id the
sick-ward she startled the house. old
by a prolonged joyous and confident
cackle auch as is OILY Uttered by q
most vainglorious hem. An investiga.
ton disclosed the fact that, instead
OF an egg, chicken, already Matched,
had been laid. A sound healthy
chicken; and the. mother not having
acquired the cluck-cluck of brood.
Ing hen, was cracking her voice talk.
ing to her offspring in the cutcut-cut.
daw-cut-language usually addressed
to newly laid egg. The entire barn.
yard population took up the cry. ard
for six weeks. until the chicken was
weared. the maternal cackle kept such
d concert going that passing strangers
thought a hundred eggs a minute were
being laid, while in point of fact the
fowls were so excited that the yield of
eggs almost ceased. And now that
chicken is just ike any other chicken
and is worth no more except for ex.
hibition 10 some museum Of natural
curlosihes."

Jim Platt and Finney Coan plowed

a sailor once on a time and knows
how to pillow the raging deep, but he

"Heat-hotter than the hold of q

Finney said some common farm
words to the horses and the first cor.

evening and stayed all night at 10

was riding a fine horse, and said he was
in pursuit of horse thief, and that three
men would be along yesterday after said
thief After trying to swap horses with
Newt and Owen Hunt Tuesday morning
he skipped" leaving bis nights lodging
unpaid, and fell in with the BatesVille
mail boy and, we learn, weut on to that
place. Yesterday, as the boy stated,
three men from Missouri came along in
hot pursuit of the boy, who himself was
the thief he represented himself as pur"
suing. We did not learn the young thiefs
name, but it is supposed he is the chap
who broke Jail in Mt. Home last winter.
